Huge help for me to streamline my business

Bewertet am 25.4.2018

Vorteile

The ability it has given me to focus on making deals and not updating 100 different spreadsheets. I was working between spreadsheets daily, updating new loans, draws , and investor payments. Having this all in one place has been a game changer!

Nachteile

Not much to complain about, really like it a lot. We have found a few kinks in the system as far as reporting and payment but we generally have found a work around and most of it was probably user error and just getting to know the system!

HomesFund is very happy with the overall use, speed, and functionality of the software - and - it's in the cloud!

Vorteile

Setting up was fairly easy. The customer support team has my back on a daily basis on varied topics as I continue to build out the Loan Servicing system. They get back to me quickly and with great guidance and expertise.

Nachteile

Some of my uploads were not accepted; however, I'm sure there was a share of user error as part of the reason 😊

We service a private loan portfolio and prepare 1098 forms for borrowers. This has worked well in the past, but current bugs are causing concern that the 1098 forms will need to be double checked during the very busy month of January.

Vorteile

The concept and theoretical flexibility of the software is really cool. The reports are generally well formatted. Borrower communication options are varied and allow easy email, but the calculations need to be correct.

Nachteile

Very complex, takes months to learn to use. Easily allows problem entries. Support is pleasant, but lacks everyday use knowledge. 4 to 6 steps required for tasks like simply advancing interest on a construction loan. Tracking of % complete and % disbursed on construction takes longer in The Mortgage Office than in a simple Excel spreadsheet. Over the last year the whiz bang modules that they are adding look great, but as updates occur with the main, modules of servicing, the lack of testing is clear as each update precipitates major bugs which cost my staff scores of hours. Customer service is helpless as they are not prepped for the updates and typically don't have the operating expertise to comprehend the full scope of the problem. , but they are nice people. Support calls are seldom answered within an hour. Typically it's about a 24 hour turnaround, with a call to us (Mountain Time) just about the time my staff is walking out the door.

My overall experience with is the team is very helpful and try to make the product as easy as they can for their clients. They respond to problems in a timely manner.

Vorteile

I just got back from the class in Huntington Beach and I enjoyed how informative it was. They went over as much as they could with things we all wanted to learn about. The team is extremely nice and helpful.

Nachteile

My only complaint would be that things get updated often but we aren't notified when things are updated and how the new updates work. I would just like to get a heads up and a little explanation on how to.

Five star experience. TMO is like staying at a nice hotel. Your expectations are exceeded, you're met with exceptional customer service, and you're confident and comfortable.

Vorteile

TMO takes away a lot of the manual work required with our previous software. Productivity is important to us. This automates, simplifies, and clarifies borrower payments, lender disbursements, escrow management. It's incredible.

Integration was definitely a project but only because of our starting point. We were operating so chaotically to just get by. The support team was incredibly helpful and still is incredibly helpful. If I could only list one reason why I'm happy with TMO, it would be support. So responsive, so knowledgeable, and friendly.

Nachteile

Integration was definitely the most difficult part. The software we used before was absolutely the reason it was difficult.

Warum The Mortgage Office gewählt wurde

NoteSmith was great and cost effective when we were servicing a few notes, but as we've grown, we've needed more consistency and user-friendliness.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu The Mortgage Office

Eric, our salesman, was very knowledgeable and approachable (we ask A LOT of questions). We enjoyed the demo, the promises of support (this promise is being upheld greatly), and the professionalism of each team member we met. I really cannot say enough about the support team. They are wonderful. Each day that goes by, we look up and realize that we love TMO more and more. So many times we've said "how did we do this before?" It's astounding. Choose The Mortgage Office. It's so worth it.

We have had a huge time savings using The Mortgage Office. ACH file is automatically generated at the click of a button. Loan payment input is simple. Monthly reports to our Lenders are generated and emailed right from the system. In the past we needed to scan the reports and e-mail them to the right people using our old system.

Vorteile

The software makes applying loan payments a breeze. We utilize ACH Express to remit monthly payments to our Lenders. That process is relatively easy. The creation of the NACHA file automatically by the system has saved us so much time. We used to have to manually load up that information, opening us up for human error.

Nachteile

The clickable items on the left had side of the home screen are a little clunky. We tend to use Tasks & Reports the most, and I find sometimes I have trouble finding it as it is a good way down the list and doesn't stand out.

I have been very pleased with the upgrade to TMO Pro. Wish we upgraded sooner! It's so much faster!

I have been very pleased with the upgrade to TMO Pro. Wish we upgraded sooner! It's so much faster!

Vorteile

TMO is easy to use and easy to understand. I like that you can create your own customized documents. If you run into an issue, you can simply email the support team who is always quick to respond and solve your problems. The TMO support team is amazing, they are very professional and are always available to help.

Nachteile

I don't have any cons about this software.

One Stop Shop

Bewertet am 13.6.2024

Vorteile

TMO is easy to use and easy to understand. It is a very complex system that allows us to do many things like take payments, manage our bank loans, cut checks and plenty of more tasks that are useful in our workplace. If we run into an issue, we simply email the support team who is always quick to respond and solve our problems. The TMO support team is amazing, they are very professional and are problem solvers!

Nachteile

Like any new system, it took time to understand TMO and be able to use it to its full capability, but once I got the hang of it, I could not be happier with this software. When I have spare time, I like to look around in the different tabs of TMO to find different reports or functions that could be helpful to the company; there are so many ways to utilize TMO, the possibilities are endless.

TMO is easy to use and they offer great support. They are knowledgeable and friendly. Response time is great when reaching out to someone in the company. They really want to help their clients.

Vorteile

The ease of use and be able to set up reminders and follow ups. TMO makes it easy to stay organized which gives more time to work on the pipeline.

Nachteile

I would like my customizable documents to be more streamline.

It was brutal. We used it for about 1.5 years, and the final straw was when we felt coerced to pay more money or they would disable our access to our data under threat from their lawyers that we breached contract. This formal letter from their lawyer was also how we were notified of this supposed “issue”

Vorteile

Automated payments
Loan management
Been in the industry a long time

Nachteile

The software was very rigid
Every support call came with a cost
They threatened to hold our data hostage if we didn’t pay an extra $10,000.00 USD for breach of contract (because we used the software on multiple devices and the contract said we were only able to use it on one pc. (We use virtual pc and work from 3 different office locations)

TMO follows your expansion

Bewertet am 21.3.2024

Vorteile

features can be customized at any time (from simple tasks and shortcuts up to mapping and making the system meet your growing needs)

different modules for specific purposes

easy to search by only a few letters of a name/property address etc.

great customer support

Nachteile

initial onboarding sessions weren't enough. In my opinion It'd be helpful to start learning basics from video tutorials of some sort and then to go deeper into customizing and addressing specific requests with a team member.

Vorteile

Loan Origination and Loan Servicing is very helpful and useful for our business. It tracks and manages the loans and mortgages very well.

Nachteile

Despite the fact that I'm still using the Desktop version, I think some of the naming should be a little more easy/simple for the reader to find certain options.

Flexible Software

Bewertet am 29.4.2021

I have experienced worst after testing four other loan software. This is the best so far.

I have experienced worst after testing four other loan software. This is the best so far.

Vorteile

It a spreadsheet format for customers' main screen which is downloadable to Excel. Allows for flexibility of how data is displayed through "Smart Views." Though one would need help from Support to figure out the correct string to use. It allows for credit reporting, which a lot of our customers want.

Nachteile

The base Loan Origination module does not allow for payments to be divided monthly evenly if the first payment due date is not 30 days from contract signing. Tends to create balloon payments for that reason. One could pay to add another part to the software to take care of that issue. But in addition to paying for the upgrade one also pays 17% of that purchase price quarterly. Which leads to another minus of increased monthly cost the most modules are added. This is true of any additions one makes to the software, whether ACH processing modules or Loan Origination module etc.. So, it really increases the monthly costs of the software, after initial purchase price, the more trimmings you want with it. It is a good software, But, make sure to take into account not just the initial cost of all modules but also the extra monthly 17% or so of the purchase price that will have to be paid.

As our company has continued to grow and The Mortgage Office has been right beside us. They continue to update features and offer a suite of modules to service our loans better.

Vorteile

The Mortgage Office provided us the ability to service our construction loans with increased efficiency and borrower transparency.

Nachteile

There are efficiency hurdles with tracking tax and insurnace escrow lines and paying them within the system.

The biggest problem we've solved is a significant decrease in the amount of time it took to process payments. Our old system would take almost an entire day to move funds and notify participants, and now that can be accomplished in a matter of minutes.

Vorteile

We've been using this product for about 18 months. It has streamlined our payment processing so much - we're much more efficient now, which is always a good thing with a small company. The system is able to handle participations in an almost seamless manner.

Nachteile

While quite a bit can be customized, we're having some challenges customizing some reports for our participants based upon the overall portfolio. And I wish there was a better way to handle a mid-cycle interest rate change.

Bewertet am 12.11.2022

great, I love the seminars and support team.

great, I love the seminars and support team.

Vorteile

The support team for TMO is great, they spent hours on the phone with my team to help resolve technical problems we had. No software I've used (personally and professionally) offered this much support. We had a TMO support person on a zoom call for almost 2 hours with my boss, colleague, and IT team. I would highly recommend TMO; their support team makes the software easy to use even for novices.

Nachteile

Some excel report version of reports TMO can generate have odd formatting, due to being PDF to XLS exports. However, this can be easily resolved by editing the excel on your own after export.

Vorteile

I most value The Mortgage Office's versatility and capabilities. I service many thousands of loans very easily from the software.

I would say the most troublesome area of this software is related to certain custom reports, you must be familiar with SQL or Crystal Reports to accomplish certain things.

Having friendly and professional statements for Loans, Investors which can be e-mailed & printed.

Vorteile

TMO has culminated over decades of work in loan servicing software. Rep has lot of in-depth knowledge that he passes on in the Seminar. Wish we had done this seminar when we purchased the software. We are very keen in trying the easy methods. Also the Support team help is great. We are not utilizing all the modules. But their integration of ACH, emails, Text messages are very helpful. All the staff is eager to help. Sales & Marketing team was awesome. PLEASE ATTEND THE SEMINAR AFTER YOU DIVE INTO THIS SOFTWARE. Earlier the better.

Nachteile

For odd loans/transactions it may be customized but the cost can be high. For those we are still using Excel spreadsheets

as a new user coming in not knowing how the company was set up and trying to do major clean up I found it challenging and still is. The documentation found online is not clear on how exactly to process certain transactions such as adjustments, Corporate Advances, and short payments on payoffs etc etc.

Vorteile

ease of use and navigation between screens. does take a little getting used to but once you understand where everything is stored is very easy to navigate.

Nachteile

reporting is not easy to work with. some of the canned reports are pdf. modifying existing reports require someone who know sql . lack of ability to flag loans by certain events such as foreclosures, pending payoff, etc. Unable to set up one reminder to multiple people on a group, ability to easily pull reports by Lender and ability to see what the reports include or exclude if that criteria was selected. Do not like that it sits on Amazon workspace causing issues with database set up and how documents are stored etc etc
